Based on the picture? My guess is she stole one of Hawkeye's costumes and tore the sleeves off for her top, then in an alternate dimension clashed with Lex in his green power armor then took his gauntlets and boots as trophys (Maybe Iron Man played tailor and let them out for her).As for the pants? Custom order. Ain't the internet grand? ;~)

I love the quote about no costume though. I hate to break it to Ms. Choi, but that get up? It's a costume as surely as any other.

Master Cat; or, The Booted Cat, commonly known as "Puss in Boots," is an old French fairy tale about a cat who uses trickery and deceit to gain power, wealth, and the hand of a princess in marriage for his penniless and low-born master. For my "fairy-tales-as-superheroes" project, he is Master Cat, originally named by the Paris Police as Le Maître Chat, a notorious international cat burglar, who uses trickery and deceit to gain power, wealth, and live a hedonistic life of luxury. He should be played with plenty of savoir faire, sort of a cross-between (pre-Bond) Daniel Craig and Catwoman.

DEFENSEInexperienced: Dee is still finding her footing as a super-hero, having only been active for a few months, and has not fully acclimated herself with the role.Legacy Hero: Dee is the second hero to bear the name and would never do anything to ruin the name Liberatrix; she also feels responsible to upholding the good names to the "original generation" of the super-hero community that was active in her grandmother's day as well.Relationships: Dee is dedicated to the memory of her mother, the late Judge Betty Dayes; and deeply devoted to her grandmother, mentor, and trainer, Delores Dayes. Secret Identity: Dee Dayes, not-so-mild-mannered Hub City Community College student.

The Question was not the first hero to operate in Hub City, although it has been a long, long while since the era of the "mystery men" of the 1940s. During the Second World War, Hub City was protected from Nazi saboteurs and criminal war-profiteers by the Battlin' Beauty, the Teen Dream: Liberatrix! Although she was never as famous as many of the other masked women and mystery men of her era, she was popular enough that the 15th Air Force, 113th Bomb Group, 13th Squadron -- which was mostly made up of men from around Hub City -- adopted her as a mascot. Only one plane from that group survived the war, and it sits quiet and alone in a warehouse-sized annex of the Hub City Historical Museum. Visited only by a handful of surviving vets, but lovingly maintained by a single volunteer: Delores Dayes, an 89 year-old woman, who some remember as a radical investigative journalist from the `60s and `70s.

Delores Dayes was born in 1923, only child of a widower boxing instructor who'd "be damned if he was gonna let his little girl go through life not knowin' how ta throw a punch." When she was fifteen, she donned a homemade costume and took everything her father had taught her to bring down the gangsters that had run him out of business. She loved the thrill so much that, a few months later inspired by the other mystery men of the era, she refined her costume and returned to the fighting the good fight.

Delores grew up and in the 1960s, she adopted an orphaned girl named Betty. Betty, in turn, would adopt her own daughter Deidre. Although Delores had never hid her costumed past from Betty, both women felt that Hub City had grown too dark and too dangerous to risk inspiring Deidre to follow into her grandmother footsteps... but, they insisted she know how to protect herself, just as her great-grandfather would have wanted. Deidre was drilled in boxing, jujitsu, and gymnastics -- even introducing her mother to the newfangled le parkour in 2007. Unfortunately, the old warning about those who forget their history being doomed to repeat it held true. Six months ago, Betty Dayes a Hub City District Court Judge, refused to accept bribes from the Falcone Crime Family to let one of their made-men, Alberto Viti, walk. The Falcone's fire-bombed the Dayes' home, killing Betty.

Delores took her granddaughter into her own home, and has begun to support and mentor her as the all-new, all-different Liberatrix!

Created as a potential PC for a "gritty" urban street-heroes game... which is my genre of choice. But, because I'm just a contrary personality by default, I'm going for something not-quite dark and gritty, at least, not on the surface. The "high concept" is sort of "What if Batman Beyond was Robin? And taking place in the present instead of the future?" The original Liberatrix would have basically been a solo Robin-level hero back during the 1940s through the 1960s; her grand-daughter is now stepping into the role.

As it is mine; with your permission, I'll be stealing Liberatrix for my campaign. Always nice to see more non-powered, but skilled and fearless, guys and gals running around.

Speaking of, if slightly off-topic, what's your opinion on the new Arrow series? Me, I love it; flasy enough to feel properly comics and not some generic action, yet not so over-the-top to put it into wuxia territory...

I'll let you know in six months, when it hits Netflix or Amazon Instant Video; I haven't hand television service since, oh, 2001-02...

Haven't come up with much background. He's a rich-guy, turned zookeeper, turned crime-fighter using a super-suit he hand-built... Because, y'know, like what else you gonna do with the NHL season cancelled?

Where are your brave words and taunts now, Spider-Man?

Tip of the cowl to ProdigyDuck and her (his?) genius idea to make the Tentacles minions. Not only does this make Octavius essentially capable of multiple actions per turn, it also has a mechanical side-effect that I never noticed before, but really reflects just how difficult Doc Ock is for Spider-Man to fight: the tentacles can't be Taunted!

Doctor Octopus exists on Earth-IV and is essentially unchanged in his history and motivations in my campaign world. The primary difference being he never adopted the mecha-like suit he currently has in Earth-616 continuity.

The artwork is "borrowed" from Storn Cook, a piece commissioned by someone else. I was reasonably certain that it was a B-24... but Liberator just makes for a more Golden Age name. Fortress Boy of the Legion of Superheroes notwithstanding, and no I am not making that up, fortresses just aren't that super-heroic.
